Ventilation duct cleaning in Cumnor
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. If you are dealing with extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and stuffy rooms and stale air, we can help, from grilles and diffusers, supply ductwork and toilet extract systems onwards.
Somewhere as small as Cumnor, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Cumnor
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Cumnor and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Honest limits
Ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Offices and schools
- Supply ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Stick to the filter change schedule
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it is not missed.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Cumnor
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Cumnor

Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Cumnor is about 56 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Radcliffe Infirmary is the nearest hospital, about 3.6 miles north-east of Cumnor. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Hospitals such as Radcliffe Infirmary (about 3.6 miles north-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Cumnor are no different. For schools like Cumnor Church of England School (Voluntary Controlled), the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Why act early in Cumnor
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. Every year adds to the job, and more of it finds its way back into the building. In a small place like Cumnor, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Cumnor
Will you come out to Cumnor?
Yes. Cumnor is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you clean school ventilation in Cumnor in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Cumnor, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
